Highlights

- Low mileage car
- Desirable 6spd manual
- Special order Slate Grey metallic

The Appeal
After the step change of the 996, the 997 added back some classic 911 cues like the round lights and retro dashboard that enthusiasts love.
The subtle colour scheme of this well kept early 997.1 neatly underplays its potency. It is perfect as entertaining 320bhp daily driver or could be preserved for indulgent trips. In very good order with a desirable 6spd manual box and low mileage, this great example also has advisory-free MOT to May.
